Hello,I recently purchased a Canon Camcorder Vixia 800 for making family videos and then decided I could attach it to my Hawke 30 Sidewinder scope, if and when, I wanted to make hunting videos.I already own the Eagle Vision tubes for attaching a Casio Camera to my Hawke Sidewinder. But attaching the Canon Camcorder took me in another direction. I wanted to use a series of lens adapters to connect the two together - the Canon Camcorder with my Hawke Scope.So this is what you’ll need at least this way following my example.
Four different rings would have to be purchased. One attaches to the next in this order.
One ring is . . . . 36mm (male thread)/37mm (female thread) ***Must use Bower Ring adapter ***
Second ring is . . . . 37mm (male thread)/52mm (female thread)
Third ring is . . . . 52mm (male thread)/52mm (male thread)
Fourth ring is . . . . 52mm (female thread/43mm (male thread)
Just updating what I did - the first ring must be a Bower ring. The male threads must be deep enough to fit inside the Hawke protective rubber ring to make a secure connection. Any other rings (36mm male to 37mm female) I found out are not deep enough to give a secure connection. So order only the Bower ring in 36mm to 37 mm.
The lens adapter with the Bower 36mm male thread screws into the Hawke Sidewinder female thread and so on until the 43mm male thread screws into the Canon Camcorder Vixia 800 female thread. This will be the end result.
